New York Mets fans are fired up after GM David Stearns signed 30-year-old Mike Baumann to a minor-league deal, especially with big names still on the market and core players like Pete Alonso and Edwin Díaz gone. Baumann’s recent stats—struggles in Japan and a rocky 2024 in MLB—aren’t inspiring much hope. Many are questioning if this “small-market” approach fits a team with big-city expectations. With the offseason so quiet, the community is buzzing: Is this the new Mets way, or is something bigger coming? What do you think about the team’s direction? #Sports #Baseball #Mets
